stepay Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 (Boy I sure hope "OT" means "Off Topic", because I don't really know for sure, and in fact I'll admit to not being 100% sure what GAS means, though I think I do know -- so if anyone wants to clue me in, that would be cool). Anyway, just wondering about people changing avatars. I get used to someone's and then BAM! it's gone. At least Dave Pierce's have a theme...bad teams.

ProfD Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 stepay, OT means Off Topic. GAS=Gear Acquisition Syndrome. I noticed Dave's new avatar too. Yep, it is consistent.

stepay Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 ProfD, Thanks for the acronym definitions. I was right on with OT, but only right in spirit with GAS. I thought it was "Gotta Acquire Sh!t". Steve (Stevie Ray) "Do the chickens have large talons?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Nightime Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I had a problem with my avatar. It was linked to my website. Well, with people calling up threads that I posted to, my website was hit over 9000 times. my site is being hosted by a friend for free, but he was informed that it was going to cost $125 because of the used bandwidth. This forced him to shut down the site for a while, so my avatar was gone. My response was to move the avatar images to a picture hosting site so there wouldn't be the hits on my site. Works rather well. "In the beginning, Adam had the blues, 'cause he was lonesome. So God helped him and created woman. Now everybody's got the blues."

kanker. Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Originally posted by stepay: I thought it was "Gotta Acquire Sh!t". Gear Acquisition Syndrome is the the clinical definition, but yours more accurately describes the feelings one has when suffering from GAS. A ROMpler is just a polyphonic turntable.

stepay Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 Kanker, Yeah. I kind of though GAS had a sense of urgency attached to it which is why I thought it stood for "Gotta Acquire Sh!t". Unfortunately I fall into this category -- DHEM -- Don't Have Enough Money. Steve (Stevie Ray) "Do the chickens have large talons?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
